I've finished refilming How to Survive EVE Online. Episode 1 is up on my channel. Episodes 2 and 3 are re-uploading now after a bad-quality conversion accident. Episodes 4, 5, and 6 have been recorded, but not edited.
Further status updates will be on my Twitter feed:

For those who are curious, the process is this:
1) Use Snapz Pro X to record myself talking into my microphone while I runt he tutorial missions.
2) Wait for Snapz Pro X to convert the recording into a reasonable-size QuickTime Movie. Every 1 minute of video needs 3 minutes of processing for my given settings. (I have to wonder why my 3.33 GHz 6-core Intel Xeon processor is 80% idle for this part.)
3) Use Quicktime Player 7 to listen to the movie file. Cut out any long pauses or sections where the phone rings unexpectedly because I forgot to silence it before recording. Cut out any sections where I fumble around unnecessarily.
4) Extract the microphone track into a separate Quicktime Movie. Open that up in Audacity. Put it through an equalization process that boosts the base and suppresses the treble. This mitigates the worst of my sibilance and has the neat side-effect that it makes me sound like I'm speaking on professional broadcast radio.
5) Re-insert the equalized microphone track back into the QuickTime Movie file using Quicktime Player 7.
6)
There is no six.
7) Use Quicktime Player 7 to attach an E-UNI sting to the start of the movie file. (Prior to this, I have to do some sort of video recapture to get the E-UNI sting in a resolution that matches the movie I'm recording, in this case 2048 x 1152; otherwise this Step 7 makes the entire movie the larger resolution and adds white bars to the bottom and side to make up the missing pixels from the smaller resolution.)
8) Have Quicktime Player 7 to export the movie to an MP4. (This is necessary so that the two audio tracks get baked into one audio track. Attempting to upload a video with multiple audio tracks to YouTube causes YouTube to reject all except the first audio track, so typically, my voice disappears from the video.)
9) Upload the MP4 to YouTube.
